EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A amends Navarre Corporation’s (the “Company’s”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005 as filed by the Company on November 14, 2005. As previously reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q, the financial statements accompanying the report had not been reviewed by an independent public accountant under Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X. Consequently, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was incomplete and the Company was unable to give the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

This Amendment No. 1 includes the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the review report by our independent public accountants as required under Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X. Subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2005, the Company settled a legal case which existed as of the balance sheet date and thus has recorded this charge in the accompanying report.

Except as noted above, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A does not provide an update or discussion of any developments regarding the Company after the date of the original filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Navarre Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Navarre Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and for the three-month and six-month periods then ended. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 14, 2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation

Navarre Corporation (“the Company” or “Navarre”), a Minnesota corporation formed in 1983, publishes and distributes a broad range of home entertainment and multimedia products, including PC software, CD audio, DVD and VHS video, video games and accessories. Historically, the business was divided into two business segments – distribution and publishing. Through these business segments, the Company maintains and leverages strong relationships throughout the publishing and distribution chain. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company expanded its segments to include a segment which is titled “other” and includes the operations of a variable interest entity as further discussed below.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Navarre Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidation of the variable interest entity (“VIE”), Mix & Burn, Inc. (“Mix & Burn”).

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Because of the seasonal nature of our business, the operating results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Navarre Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2005.

Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Restatement of Financial Statements

The Company has restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ending March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and unaudited quarterly financial data as of and for the periods ending June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005. These restatements resulted in (i) the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation Number 46 (revised December 2003),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46(R)”) to the Company’s investment in Mix & Burn; (ii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $388,000 in connection with certain payments to be made pursuant to a separation agreement that was entered into with the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in April 2004; and (iii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $984,000 as a result of the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 to certain payments that are to be made upon the retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a 2001 Employment Agreement.

Segment Reporting

In light of the addition of Mix & Burn in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, Navarre has re-evaluated its application of FASB Statement No. 131,Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, (SFAS 131”) and has revised its operating and reportable segments. The Company’s historical presentation of segment data consisted of two operating and reportable segments – distribution and publishing. The Company’s restated presentation includes three operating and reportable segments – distribution, publishing and other.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue on products shipped is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Service revenues are recognized upon delivery of the services. Service

revenues represented less than 10% of total net sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. The Company, under specific conditions, permits its customers to return products. The Company records a general reserve for sales returns and allowances against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivables to the amounts the Company reasonably believes will be collected. These reserves are based on the application of the Company’s average historical gross profit percent against average sales returns, sales discounts percent against average gross sales and specific reserves for marketing programs. Although the Company’s past experience has been a good indicator of future reserve levels, there can be no assurance that its current reserve levels will be adequate in the future.

The Company’s distribution customers at times qualify for certain price protection benefits from the Company’s vendors. The Company serves as an intermediary to settle these amounts between vendors and customers. The Company accounts for these amounts as reductions of revenues with corresponding reductions in cost of sales.

The Company’s publishing business at times provides certain price protection, promotional monies, volume rebates and other incentives to customers. The Company records these amounts as reductions in revenue.

FUNimation revenue is recognized upon meeting the recognition requirements of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 00-2,Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films.Revenues from home video distribution are recognized, net of an allowance for estimated returns, in the period in which the product is available for sale by the Company’s customers (generally upon shipment to the customer and in the case of new releases, after “street date” restrictions lapse). Revenues from broadcast licensing and home video sublicensing are recognized when the programming is available to the licensee and other recognition requirements of SOP 00-2 are met. Fees received in advance of availability are deferred until revenue recognition requirements have been satisfied. Royalties on sales of licensed products are recognized in the period earned. In all instances, provisions for uncollectible amounts are provided at the time of sale.

Royalties Payable

Royalties payable represent management’s estimate of accrued and unpaid ultimate participation costs as of the end of the fiscal year. Royalties are generally due and paid to the licensor one month after each quarterly period for sales of merchandise and license fees received.

The Company expects to pay 100% of accrued royalties in the amount of $3.8 million during the period ended March 31, 2006.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $701,000 and $924,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Research and Development – Mix & Burn

Research and development costs for the other segment of approximately $160,000 and $302,000 were charged to expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Note 2 — Restatements

Mix & Burn

During second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company determined that it was changing its accounting treatment for its investment in and advances to a third party (Mix & Burn). Mix & Burn was determined to be a VIE under FIN 46(R), and the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of Mix & Burn. As such Mix & Burn’s financial results are subject to consolidation into the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see further discussion in Notes 1 and 4).

Post Retirement Payments

As a result of issues identified in the quarterly closing for the period ended September 30, 2005, the Company has restated its previously-issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ending March 31, 2004 and 2005 and the period ending March 31, 2003 and unaudited quarterly financial data as of and for the period ending June 30, 2005. These restatements resulted in (i) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $388,000 in connection with a separation agreement that was entered into with

the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in April 2004; and (ii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $984,000 in connection with the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 to certain payments that are to be made upon the retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a 2001 Employment Agreement.

Restatements — Previously Reported

In June 2005, the Company’s management, after consultation with the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, year ended March 31, 2004, first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004, second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 should no longer be relied upon. As a result of the fiscal year 2005 audit, it was determined that expenses related to the incentive-based deferred compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer should have been recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2004 and first fiscal quarter of 2005. As a result, additional expenses and accrued liabilities of $1.5 million and $2.2 million were recorded in these quarters, respectively. These expenses were determined in accordance with the provisions of the Chief Executive Officer’s 2001 employment agreement, as amended.

It was also determined that the Company’s deferred tax benefit recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2005 was improperly included in income and should have increased common stock. Consequently, the tax benefit of $2.4 million recognized during the third fiscal quarter of 2005 was reduced and common stock was increased by the same amount.

The consolidated financial statements for our third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, year ended March 31, 2004, first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004, second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the period ended March 31, 2005 were restated to include the effects of the expenses related to the incentive-based deferred compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and the deferred tax benefit recorded in income that should have increased common stock. Refer to these filings for the consolidated financial statement line items that were impacted by the previously reported restatements described above.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

FUNimation

On May 11, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the general and limited partnership interests of FUNimation Productions, Ltd. and The FUNimation Store, Ltd. (together “FUNimation”) a leading home video distributor and licensor of Japanese animation and children’s entertainment in the United States. The acquisition of FUNimation is a continuation of the Company’s strategy for growth by expanding content ownership and gross margin enhancement. The purchase price consisted of $100.4 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments not to exceed $5.0 million and excess cash as defined in the purchase agreement, and 1,827,486 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, during the five-year period following the closing of the transaction, the Company may pay up to an additional $17.0 million in cash if certain financial targets are met, which amount will be included as part of the purchase price and thus increase goodwill in subsequent periods. The Company entered into a credit agreement to fund the acquisition which consisted of $115.0 million Term Loan B sub-facility, a $25.0 million Term Loan C sub-facility and a revolving sub-facility of up to $25.0 million. The Company is obligated to pay interest on loans made under the facilities at variable rates. (See Note 16 Bank Financing and Debt).

Employment Agreement

The Company entered into an employment agreement with a key FUNimation employee providing for his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of FUNimation Productions, Ltd (“the CEO”). The term of this agreement is five years from the closing date of the FUNimation acquisition. The agreement provides for a base salary of $350,000 per year, subject to annual adjustments by the board of directors of FUNimation Productions, Ltd., and an annual bonus consistent with Navarre’s executive bonus program. The agreement also provides for customary benefits that are provided to similarly-situated executives including health and disability insurance, future stock option grants, reimbursement of reasonable business expenses, and paid vacation time.

The agreement also provides the CEO of FUNimation with the ability to earn two performance-based bonuses in the event that certain financial targets are met by the FUNimation business during the fiscal years ending March 31, 2006-2010. Specifically, if the total earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”) of FUNimation during the fiscal years ending March 31, 2006 through March 31, 2008 is in excess of $90.0 million, the CEO of FUNimation is entitled to receive a bonus payment in an amount equal to 5% of the EBIT that exceeds $90.0 million; however, this bonus payment shall not exceed $5.0 million. Further, if the combined EBIT of the FUNimation business is in excess of $60.0 million during the period consisting of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2009 and 2010, the CEO of FUNimation is entitled to receive a bonus payment in an amount equal to 5% of the EBIT that exceeds $60.0 million; however, this bonus payment shall not exceed $4.0 million.

In addition, upon entering into this agreement the Company granted a ten year option to purchase 250,000 shares of Navarre common stock exercisable at $8.35 to the CEO of FUNimation.

If the employment of the CEO of FUNimation is terminated by FUNimation Productions, Ltd. without cause or by the CEO of FUNimation for good reason, the CEO of FUNimation is entitled to receive payment of his annual salary, plus an amount equal to the bonus payable as a portion of his annual salary for the lesser of the remaining term of his employment agreement or two years. Payments to be made under these circumstances do not include the performance-based bonuses payable in connection with meeting the EBIT targets discussed above.

The agreement includes certain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply to the CEO of FUNimation’s activities during the term of the employment agreement and for 18 months thereafter.

Purchase Price

The purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with FAS 141,Business Combinations. Accordingly, the net assets were recorded at their estimated fair values and operating results were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The allocation resulted in goodwill of $44.9 million and intangibles of $1.7 million related to a trademark, which will not be amortized, and other intangible assets of $39.1, related to license and distribution arrangements, which will be amortized over a period of between five and one-half to seven and one-half years based on revenue streams. The purchase price was reallocated during the three months ended September 30, 2005 based on the results of an independent valuation which increased other intangibles and reduced goodwill. The Company amortized $3.1 million related to these other intangibles during the three months ended September 30, 2005 which represents the impact of amortization from May 11, 2005, the acquisition date.

The purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):


Accounts receivable	$	7,953
Inventories		3,542
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		52
Property and equipment		2,064
License fees		20,582

Goodwill		44,869
Other intangibles		40,758
Current liabilities		(9,683	)

Total purchase price, less cash acquired	$	113,947

The results of FUNimation have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition of May 11, 2005. Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are included below. Such pro forma information assumes that the above acquisition had occurred as of April 1, 2004. This summary is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the companies been a combined entity during the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, nor does it represent results of operations for any future periods. Pro forma adjustments consist primarily of interest expense and amortization expense:

Note 4 — Variable Interest Entity

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation Number (“FIN”) 46 (revised December 2003),Consolidated of Variable Interest Entities(“FIN 46(R)). FIN 46(R), along with its related interpretations, clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulleting No. 51,Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN 46(R) separates entities into two groups: (1) those for which voting interests are used to determine consolidation and (2) those for which variable interests are used to determine consolidation. FIN 46(R) clarifies how to identify a VIE and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. A company that absorbs a majority of a VIE’s expected residual returns, or both, is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE’s financial results into its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46(R) also requires disclosure of certain information where the reporting company is the primary beneficiary or holds significant variable interests in a VIE but is not the primary beneficiary.

The Company adopted FIN 46(R) with respect to its investment in Mix & Burn during the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

Mix & Burn’s financial results have been consolidated with the Company’s financial results under FIN 46(R). Mix & Burn had net sales of $147,000 and $255,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and net sales of $113,000

for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, which are included in the consolidated financial statements. Mix & Burn had net operating losses of $616,000 and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, respectively and $524,000 and $854,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Mix & Burn is a development stage company that designs and markets digital music delivery services for music and other specialty retailers. Mix & Burn funds its operations through third-party financing. Mix & Burn has a $2.5 million note payable to the Company, which is eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 5 — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two stock option plans for officers, non-employee directors and key employees. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”), and related interpretations. Therefore, when the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“SFAS 123”). The intrinsic value method is used to account for stock-based compensation plans. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123, to stock-based employee compensation.

Pro forma information regarding net income and income per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of options granted in fiscal 2006 second quarter were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.08%; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 65%; expected life of the option of five years; and no dividends. The weighted average fair value of options granted in fiscal 2006 second quarter was $4.31.

Note 6 — Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Approximately 1.5 million and 1.3 million of the Company’s stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2005, respectively, and approximately 99,000 and 139,500 were excluded for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2004 because the exercise prices of the stock options and warrants were greater than the average price of the Company’s common stock and therefore their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 7 — Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Amortization of license fees for the three months and six month periods ended September 30, 2005 were $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 2004 were $0 and $0, respectively. These amounts have been included in royalty expense in the accompanying statements of operations.

License fees represent fixed minimum advance payments made to program suppliers for exclusive distribution rights. A program supplier’s share of distribution revenues (“Participation Cost”) is retained by the Company until the share equals the license fees paid to the program supplier plus recoupable production costs. Thereafter, any excess is paid to the program supplier. License fees are amortized as recouped by the Company which equals participation costs earned by the program suppliers. Participation costs are accrued in the same ratio that current period revenue for a title or group of titles bear to the estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue for that title, as defined bySOP 00-2. Amounts are assessed periodically for impairment.

These amounts have been included in cost of sales in the accompanying statements of operations.

Production costs represent unamortized costs of films and television programs, which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights. Costs of produced films and television programs include all production costs, which are expected to be recovered from future revenues. Amortization of production costs is determined based on the ratio that current revenue earned from the films and television programs bear to the ultimate future revenue, as defined bySOP 00-2.

When estimates of total revenues and costs indicate that an individual title will result in an ultimate loss, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that license fees and production costs exceed estimated fair value, based on discounted cash flows, in the period when estimated.

Note 16 — Bank Financing and Debt

In October 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation as administrative agent, agent and lender, and GECC Capital Markets Group, Inc. as Lead Arranger, for a three year, $30.0 million revolving credit facility for use in connection with our working capital needs. In June 2004, this credit agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, provide for two senior secured revolving sub-facilities: a $10.0 million revolving acquisition sub-facility, and a $40.0 million revolving working capital sub-facility. The revolving working capital sub-facility allowed for borrowings up to $40.0 million, subject to a borrowing base requirement, and required that the Company maintain a minimum excess availability of at least $10.0 million. In addition to the provision for the two senior secured revolving sub-facilities, this credit agreement allowed for up

to $10.0 million of the revolving working capital facility to be used for acquisitions, providing the Company with an aggregate revolving acquisition availability of up to $20.0 million, subject to a borrowing base requirement. The working capital revolving credit facility also included borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice, referred to as swing line loans. Under the amended and restated credit agreement, the maturity date of the revolving working capital facility was December 2007 and the maturity date of the revolving acquisition facility was June 2006.

The credit agreement was amended and restated on May 11, 2005 in order to provide the Company with funding to complete the FUNimation acquisition (see Note 3) and was again amended and restated on June 1, 2005. The credit agreement currently provides a six-year $115.0 million Term Loan B sub-facility, a $25.0 million five and one-half year Term Loan C sub-facility, and a five-year revolving sub-facility for up to $25.0 million. The entire $115.0 million of the Term Loan B sub-facility was drawn at May 11, 2005 and the entire $25.0 million of the Term Loan C sub-facility was drawn at June 1, 2005. The revolving sub-facility of up to $25.0 million is available to the Company for its working capital and general corporate needs.

The loans under our senior credit facilities are guaranteed by our subsidiaries and are secured by a first priority security interest in all of our assets and in all of the assets of our subsidiary companies, as well as the capital stock of our subsidiary companies.

In association with the GE Commercial Finance credit agreement, the Company also pays certain facility and agent fees. Interest under the GE Capital line of credit was at the index rate plus 2.25% (9.0% and 5.75% at September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively) and is payable monthly. As of September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively, the Company had no balance under the revolving working capital facilities. Interest under the Term Loan B sub-facility was at the Libor rate plus 2.50% (7.43% as of September 30, 2005) and the Term Loan C sub-facility was at the Libor rate plus 4.50% (9.43% as of September 30, 2005). The balance under the two sub-facilities was $118.8 million at September 30, 2005. Principal payments on the Term Loan B sub-facility and Term Loan C sub-facility are presently $1.25 million per quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company prepaid $5.0 million on the Term Loan B sub-facility.

Under the credit agreement the Company is required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. Non-financial covenants include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the borrowing of the Company to its subsidiaries and affiliates. The financial covenants include a variety of financial metrics that are used to determine our overall financial stability and include limitations on our capital expenditures, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and a minimum of indebtedness to EBITDA. The Company was in compliance with or has obtained waivers for all the covenants related to the credit facility on September 30, 2005.

Mix & Burn has six convertible promissory notes which were entered into during the periods from December 30, 2004 to August 22, 2005 with the notes and accrued interest being due between October 17, 2005 and December 31, 2005. These notes have interest rates between 8% and 12%. The aggregate principal balances at September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005 were $1.1 million and $250,000, respectively. The Company’s $2.5 million promissory notes from Mix & Burn have been eliminated with the consolidation of Mix & Burn.

On February 1, 2005, Mix & Burn obtained a $20,000 bank line of credit. The line of credit bears interest at the bank’s prime rate and matures on February 1, 2006.

Letters of Credit

The Company is party to letters of credit totaling $605,000 at September 30, 2005. The Company party to a $405,000 letter of credit with the City of New Hope, a $100,000 letter of credit with Cambridge Apartments as required per the lease related to the Company’s headquarters and a $100,000 letter of credit with Warner Home Video. In the Company’s past experience, no claims have been made against these financial instruments.

Note 17 — Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to assist in the management of exposure to interest rates. The Company uses derivative instruments only to limit the underlying exposure to floating interest rates, and not for speculation purposes. The Company documents relationships between hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the risk from floating rate long-term debt to fixed rate debt. These contracts are designed as cash flow hedges with the fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and as a hedge asset or liability in other long-term assets or other long-term liabilities, as applicable. Once the forecasted transaction actually occurs, the related fair value of the derivative hedge contract is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings. On August 9, 2005, the Company entered into two interest-rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $98.8 million and $25.0 million. At September 30, 2005, the fair value of the interest rate swaps had decreased from inception by $1.5 million and is included in other long-term liabilities. The unrecognized after-tax loss portion of the fair value of the contracts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was ($929,000) at September 30, 2005.

Note 18 — Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 143.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 as the net loss includes the loss from a variable interest entity which does not have any tax benefit to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 was significantly lower than second quarter of fiscal 2006 due to the partial reversal of the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was signed into law on October 22, 2004. The Company has evaluated the Act and believes that its provisions will not have a material impact on the tax rate. The Company is analyzing its operations to determine if it qualifies for the manufacturing deduction, but the benefit, if any, is not anticipated to be material.

The Company’s net deferred income tax assets were partially reserved in fiscal 2005 because of its history of pre-tax losses. Reversals of these valuation reserves during fiscal 2005 resulted in the recording of tax benefits associated with its utilization of net operating loss carryforwards due to the generation of taxable income. As of March 31, 2005, all net-operating losses have been utilized. It has been determined, based on expectations of future taxable income, that a valuation reserve is no longer required, except those related to the VIE, Mix & Burn. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets, except for the deferred tax assets related to the VIE, Mix & Burn, which have been fully reserved against with a valuation allowance.

Note 19 — Sale/Leaseback of Warehouse Facility

During June 2004, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of its warehouse adjacent to the Company’s headquarters building in New Hope, Minnesota, which generated net proceeds of $6.4 million. The initial term of the lease is 15 years, with options to renew for three additional five-year periods. The lease was classified as an operating lease.

The $1.4 million difference between property and equipment sold and the net proceeds has been established as prepaid rent and is being amortized over the life of the lease. Rental payments under the lease approximate $659,000 for the first year, with an annual increase of 2.75% each year thereafter.

Note 20 — License and Distribution Agreement

On March 29, 2004, the Company entered into a license and distribution agreement (“Agreement”) with Riverdeep, Inc. (“Riverdeep”). The Agreement contains provisions for a license fee and a guaranteed royalty. The Company will incur royalty expense for the license fee based on product sales for the year. However, payment will not begin until the license fee royalties have exceeded the guaranteed royalty (see below). License fee royalties were $2.1 million and $4.2 million for the three and six month periods ending September 30, 2005, respectively, and are reflected in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company provided $1.9 million of guaranteed royalty payments to Riverdeep for the period from June 30, 2005 to September 30, 2005 and $11.7 million of guaranteed royalty payments for the period from April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005. Of the amount paid, $1.9 and $2.6 million, respectively, are reflected in prepaid assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005. The guaranteed royalty is non-refundable, but is offset by royalties earned by Riverdeep in order to recoup the guaranteed royalty payments. If necessary, this recoupment period will extend through the remaining term of the agreement, plus up to an additional 42 months. The Company monitors these prepaid assets for potential impairment based on sales activity with products provided to it under this Agreement.

Note 21 — Business Segments

The presentation of segment information reflects the manner in which management organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. On this basis, the Company has determined it has three reportable business segments: distribution, publishing and other. The other segment consists of the VIE, Mix & Burn. Financial information by reportable business segment is included in the following summary (in thousands):

Note 22 – Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments — Other

The Company entered into an agreement to purchase $500,000 of advertising from the period of April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in a number of litigation matters that, other than the matters described immediately below, are incidental to the operation of the Company’s business. These matters generally include, among other things, collection matters with regard to products distributed by the Company and accounts receivable owed to the Company. The Company currently believes that the resolution of any of these pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity, but an adverse decision in more than one of the matters not described below could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

ValueVision Media, Inc. v. Navarre Corporation

On July 7, 2004, ValueVision Media, Inc. (“ValueVision”) commenced an action against Navarre Corporation in Hennepin County District Court for the State of Minnesota, alleging among other things that the Company breached a 1997 Stock Purchase Agreement and Conversion Agreement between the parties and NetRadio Corporation (“NetRadio”). ValueVision’s Complaint (“Complaint”) seeks damages in excess of $50,000, and an order of specific performance requiring Navarre to convert ValueVision’s shares of NetRadio stock into Navarre common stock based upon a January 30, 2002 notice of default and the conversion formula set forth in the Conversion Agreement that is filed as exhibit 10.19 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997. ValueVision has indicated that its damages claims exceed $3.5 million, plus prejudgment interest and costs.

On August 9, 2004, Navarre answered the Complaint, denied liability and asserted defenses. Among other defenses, the Company believes that ValueVision’s alleged rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement and Conversion Agreement terminated pursuant to the express terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Conversion Agreement upon the occurrence of the initial public offering of NetRadio. This position is supported by, among other things, certain statements that appear in the prospectus that is on file in connection with NetRadio’s initial public offering. In addition, at the time the NetRadio registration statement was filed, a representative of ValueVision sat on the board of directors of NetRadio and consented to the filing of the NetRadio registration statement.

On December 17, 2004, Navarre commenced a third-party action against Gene McCaffrey. Navarre alleged that, if ValueVision’s claims were correct, then McCaffrey, as a Director of NetRadio, breached his fiduciary duties to the Company, a shareholder of NetRadio. McCaffrey responded to the Third-Party Complaint and denied liability. In addition, the Company and ValueVision stipulated that the Company could assert a counterclaim against ValueVision, but ValueVision did not waive any defenses or rights by so stipulating.

On or about January 21, 2005, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation for the Company to assert its counterclaim against ValueVision, and on January 26, 2005, Navarre served and filed its counterclaim. ValueVision’s reply to the counterclaim was served and filed, and ValueVision denied liability to Navarre.

The parties participated in mediation on May 13, 2005. No agreement was reached, but the parties discussed the possibility of settling the case. ValueVision and the Company served and responded to written discovery, exchanged responsive documents and parties on both sides have been deposed. The Company has also completed third-party discovery.

Both Navarre and ValueVision made summary judgment motions which were heard on August 30, 2005, and October 6, 2005. The Court denied both motions, but the Court granted McCaffery’s motion for summary judgment on Navarre’s third-party claim. On August 31, 2005, a Pretrial Order was issued setting a settlement conference for October 13, 2005 which conference was subsequently rescheduled for November 1, 2005. This conference resulted in no resolution of the claims. The parties were required to serve and file exhibit lists and witness lists, and file all pleadings, before the pretrial settlement conference. The case is currently scheduled for trial during the court’s November 2005 trial block.

This case was settled on November 16, 2005. Under the terms of the settlement, Navarre has agreed to pay ValueVision the aggregate amount of $300,000 and the parties have agreed to dismiss all claims in the litigation with prejudice. The companies have also entered into an arrangement whereby Navarre has agreed to purchase air time on the ShopNBC® network, which will be used by Navarre to promote the sale of its products and those of its vendors.

Sybersound Records, Inc. v. BCI Eclipse, LLC, et al.

On May 12, 2005, Sybersound Records, Inc. (“Sybersound”) filed this action against BCI Eclipse, LLC (“BCI”) and others in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, West District, Case Number SC085498. Plaintiff alleges that BCI and others sold unlicensed records in connection with their karaoke-related business or otherwise failed to account for or pay licensing fees and/or royalties. Sybersound alleges that this conduct gives BCI and others an illegal, competitive advantage in the marketplace. Based on this and related conduct, Sybersound asserts the following causes of action: tortious interference with business relations, unfair competition under the California Business and Professions Code, and unfair trade practices under California’s Unfair Practices Act. Sybersound seeks damages, including punitive damages, of not less than $195.0 million dollars plus trebled actual damages, injunctive relief, pre- and post- judgment interest, costs, attorney’s fees and expert fees.

BCI Eclipse Company, LLC demurred to the Complaint on June 20, 2005, and served written discovery on Plaintiff. A response to the written discovery was due on or about July 20, 2005, but Plaintiff failed to respond. Plaintiff then served two sets of discovery on BCI.

On August 10, 2005, Plaintiff filed a dismissal without prejudice of the case, and filed and served a new Complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on August 11, 2005. In the new Complaint, Plaintiff made similar allegations, but also alleged that BCI is infringing on certain copyrights because of an exclusive license that Sybersound was granted by TVT. In addition, other Plaintiffs have joined the lawsuit alleging that copyrights they own have been infringed by defendants other than BCI. But on October 27, 2005, the Court issued an Order severing certain of plaintiffs’ claims. None of the plaintiffs who were severed and dismissed from the case, however, have made claims against BCI.

BCI believes that it has licenses for the works for which Sybersound claims exclusive license rights. BCI continues to investigate the breadth of its non-exclusive licenses, and whether the exclusive license is enforceable, legal, or a sham. To complete its investigation and its motion to dismiss, BCI accepted an offer by Sybersound to extend the time for responding to the Complaint by thirty (30) days. BCI’s motion to dismiss the action was filed on October 6, 2005.

On November 7, 2005, the Court dismissed Sybersound’s claims against BCI without prejudice. However, the Court granted Sybersound until November 21, 2005 to amend its complaint, noting that failure to file an amended complaint would result in dismissal of the action. The Court did note the likely futility of granting leave to amend without the addition of new facts.

Because of the status of the proceeding and the contingencies and uncertainties associated with litigation, it is difficult, if not impossible to predict a result in this proceeding.

Sybersound Records, Inc. v. Navarre Corporation, BCI Eclipse, LLC, et al.

Sybersound Records, Inc. filed this action on or about May 12, 2005 in the Superior Court of Justice, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Court File Number 05-CV-289397Pd2. The factual basis for Sybersound’s claims in this case are essentially the same as those in the case described above. However, Sybersound has named Navarre Corporation in this case in addition to BCI Eclipse, LLC.

Sybersound claims that the alleged misconduct constitutes tortious interference with economic interests, and seeks damages of not less than $5,745,000, plus punitive damages in the amount of $800,000, plus injunctive relief against certain of the defendants other than Navarre and BCI.

Navarre and BCI Eclipse Company, LLC have responded to the complaint, denied liability and damages and asserted a counterclaim against Sybersound and its principal, Jan Stevens. In their counterclaim, BCI and Navarre seek injunctive relief enjoining Sybersound and Stevens from making false statements regarding BCI and Navarre, declaratory relief that Sybersound and Stevens have made false statements, and money damages for the false statements. BCI and Navarre allege that Sybersound and Stevens are liable to Navarre and BCI under the Competition Act, Trade-marks Act and common law for certain false statements made and published by Sybersound and Stevens, and are seeking all damages available.

Plaintiffs’ and counter-defendants made a settlement demand, and on October 11, 2005, Navarre and BCI rejected Plaintiffs’ proposal and offered a counter-proposal. To date we have received no response.

Navarre and BCI Eclipse Company, LLC intend to deny liability and damages and to vigorously defend against Sybersound’s claims. Because of the status of the proceeding and the contingencies and uncertainties associated with litigation, it is difficult, if not impossible to predict a result in this proceeding.

Faulconer Productions Music Corp. v. FUNimation Productions, Inc. et al.

Faulconer Productions Music Corporation (FPMC) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on September 24, 2003 alleging that FUNimation Productions, Ltd. and certain other defendants fraudulently induced it to enter into contracts pursuant to which FUNimation had commissioned it to compose music for certain television episodes. FPMC also claims that it owns all copyrights in the music and that FUNimation has infringed upon its music copyrights. FPMC is asserting state law claims for fraudulent inducement, fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, negligence, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, conspiracy to commit fraud, and a host of similar claims related to a proposed settlement agreement related to this case. FPMC seeks damages of approximately $24.6 million, plus unspecified actual and exemplary damages to be determined at trial.

FUNimation instituted an action against FPMC and Bruce Faulconer, a principle of FPMC, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. These two cases were consolidated in the Eastern District of Texas. FUNimation asserts claims for trademark and copyright infringement, passing off, breach of contract, and fraudulent inducement related to the above-mentioned proposed settlement agreement. FUNimation seeks penalties of $47.3 million for copyright infringement, or a trial-determined

amount for disgorgement of profits, whichever is higher. FUNimation also seeks attorneys’ fees on the copyright infringement and contract claims and in connection with the defense of FPMC’s copyright infringement claims.

FUNimation filed motions to dismiss, with prejudice, all claims made by FPMC, one of which seeks the dismissal of all claims relating to the individual defendants. Additionally, FUNimation has filed a motion to exclude certain of FPMC’s expert testimony. The Court has issued an order granting a continuance to consider a motion for partial summary judgment and extended the discovery deadline until October 17, 2005 but only for FPMC’s claim of breach of the settlement agreement. FPMC has also filed a second motion for continuance. A pretrial conference is scheduled for January 2006.

We intend to vigorously defend against the claims asserted against FUNimation and to pursue our claims. Because of the status of the proceeding and the contingencies and uncertainties associated with litigation, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict a result in this proceeding.

Securities Litigation Lawsuits

Several purported class action lawsuits have been commenced by various plaintiffs against Navarre Corporation in the United States District Court for the State of Minnesota. The allegations in each of these lawsuits are virtually identical, and essentially claim that the Company, and certain of its officers and/or directors violated federal securities laws and regulations because the Company’s financial results were materially inflated and not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Complaints allege that these accounting irregularities benefited Company insiders including the individual defendants. The Complaints further allege that the Company failed to properly recognize executive deferred compensation and improperly recognized a deferred tax benefit as income. Plaintiffs cite to violation of Sec. 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and Rule 10(b)(5), promulgated under the Act, and as to the individual defendants only, violation of Sec. 20(a) of the Act.

Plaintiffs seek certification of the actions as a class action lawsuit, compensatory but unspecified damages allegedly sustained as a result of the alleged wrongdoing, plus costs, counsel fees and experts fees. The actions are identified as follows:

AVIVA Partners, Ltd. v. Navarre Corp., et al.
(Civ. No. 05-1151 (PAM/RLE))

Vivian Oh v. Navarre Corp., et al.
(Civ. No. 05-01211 (MJD/JGL))

Matthew Grabler v. Navarre Corp., et al.
(Civ. No. 05-1260 (DWF/JSM))

Defendants entered into a stipulation with counsel for plaintiffs in each of these cases to postpone the time for bringing a motion to dismiss until after a lead plaintiff and lead counsel are appointed by the Court, and an amended consolidated complaint is filed.

Two groups have filed motions to be named lead plaintiffs, but the Court has not scheduled a hearing on these competing motions. Once that decision is made, the lead plaintiff will have forty-five (45) days within which to serve a consolidated amended Complaint, after which motion practice to dismiss that Complaint will likely occur. During this period, no discovery will occur.

The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. Because of the status of these proceedings as well as the contingencies and uncertainties associated with litigation, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the exposure to the Company, if any, in connection with these matters.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuits

Several potential class plaintiffs have commenced shareholder derivative lawsuits on behalf of all of Navarre’s shareholders, alleging claims against the Company and certain of its executives, officers and directors. The complaints allege that shareholders have been treated unfairly based upon the same factual allegations contained in the securities litigation lawsuit set forth above.

The actions were brought in the U.S. District Court for Minnesota, and are identified as follows:

Shannon Binns v. Charles Cheney, et al.
(Civ. No. 05-1191 (RHK/JSM))

Karel Filip v. Charles Cheney, et al.
(Civ. No. 05-01216 (DSD/SRN))

Jeffrey Evans v. Charles Cheney, et al.
(Civ. No. 05-01216 (JMR/FLN))

Joan Brewster v. Charles Cheney, et al.
(Civ. No. 05-2044 (JRT/FLN))

William Block v. Charles Cheney, et al.
(Civ. No. 05-2067 (DSD/SRN))

While the cases filed by Evans, Brewster and Block contain more detailed, and some different factual allegations, the relief sought is substantially the same as the Binns and Filip actions. Those two parties have filed a motion to consolidate all five derivative actions and to have their attorneys named as lead counsel. The Court has decided not to have oral argument on that motion.

Defendants have agreed with counsel for plaintiffs in these cases that service on all defendants will be deemed accepted, and that defendants had until September 19, 2005 to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaints.

On July 26, 2005, the Board appointed a special litigation committee pursuant to Minn. Stat. §302A.241 to consider whether it is in the best interests of the Company to pursue the shareholder derivative claims. The Committee has been conducting interviews with the named defendants and others. As a result, on September 20, 2005, the Company served and filed a motion to stay all further proceedings in these derivative cases until the Committee can complete its work and render its recommendation. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for November 23, 2005.

Defendants intend to vigorously defend the action. Because of the contingencies and uncertainties associated with litigation, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the exposure to the Company, if any, in connection with these matters.

All of the securities and shareholder derivative actions discussed above have been or will be transferred to one U.S. District Judge and one U.S. Magistrate for all further proceedings.

Note 23 – Related Party Transactions

Employment/Severance Agreements

The Company entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in 2001, which expires on March 31, 2007. The Company agreed to pay severance amounts equal to a multiple of defined compensation and benefits under certain circumstances. Upon retirement, the Company will pay approximately $1.6 million pursuant the deferred compensation portion of the arrangement. Upon the expiration of the contract, the Company will be required to pay this amount over a period of three years subsequent to March 31, 2007. The Company has expensed $108,000 and $144,000 for this obligation in its consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 respectively. The employment agreement also contains a deferred compensation component that is earned by the CEO upon the stock price achieving certain targets, which may be forfeited in the event that he does not comply with certain non-compete obligations. As of March 31, 2005 all of the targets have been met. As such, $2.2 million was expensed in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2004. At September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, $5.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, had been accrued in the consolidated financial statements for the deferred compensation amounts.

The CEO’s employment agreement also includes a loan to the executive for a maximum of $1.0 million, of which $300,000 and $400,000 were outstanding at September 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively. Under the terms of the loan, which was entered into prior to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, $200,000 of the $1.0 million principal and all unpaid and unforgiven interest is to be forgiven by the Company on each of March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. During the six months of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, the Company forgave $100,000, respectively of principal. The outstanding note amount bears an annual interest rate of 5.25%.

The Company has a separation agreement with a former Chief Financial Officer. The Company was required to pay approximately $597,000 over a period of four years beginning May 2004. The continued payout is contingent upon the individual complying with a non-compete agreement. This amount was accrued and expensed for in fiscal year 2005.

The Company has a separation agreement with another former Chief Financial Officer. The agreement obligated the Company to pay severance amounts equal to a multiple of defined compensation and benefits. The Company is required to pay approximately $229,000 over a period of one year beginning July 2005. The Company has expensed $229,000 in its consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

Chief Executive Officer Investment in Mix & Burn

The Company's Chief Executive Officer has made an investment in Mix & Burn in the form of a convertible note. This note is convertible into common stock in Mix & Burn and accrues interest at an annual rate of twelve percent. This investment was made only after the Company determined that it would not make loans to or investments in Mix & Burn in excess of its existing $2.5 million aggregate principal amount of promissory notes (which eliminates upon consolidation).

Note 24 — Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on fair value of the equity instruments or liability instruments issued as of the grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The original effective date for Statement 123(R) was fiscal 2006. However, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule that amended the effective date for SFAS No. 123(R). The SEC’s rule allows companies to implement SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year instead of the next reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Therefore, the Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) effective April 1, 2006. The Company has begun, but has not completed, evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on its results of operations. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have a material impact on its results of operations.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that a conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of the settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The Statement is effective for companies no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 47 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, (“SFAS 154”), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This Statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance it does not include specific transition provisions. Specifically, this Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the effects of the change, the new accounting principle must be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and a corresponding adjustment must be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of the change, the new principle must be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement is effective for the Company for all accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. This Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing pronouncements. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Note: Comparisons to fiscal year 2005 results refer to restated numbers as discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

Note:In connection with the identification of the VIE Mix & Burn, the Company undertook a project to evaluate whether other relationships it has with other entities should be considered under FIN 46 (R) and, therefore, subject to consolidation with the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not completed its review and is unable to come to any conclusions as of the date of this report. This review may result in changes to prior period consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 9.3% to $157.8 million compared to $144.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This growth in net sales was achieved principally through an increase of sales in our distribution segment and the addition of FUNimation results, which added $10.2 million in net sales. Our gross profit increased to $28.4 million or 18.0% of net sales in the second quarter fiscal 2006 compared with $21.0 million or 14.5% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2005. The increase in gross profit and as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the addition of FUNimation revenues and an increase in independent music net sales, which carry a higher margin.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 were $25.5 million or 16.2% of net sales, compared with $16.7 million or 11.6% of net sales in the same period for fiscal 2005. Net loss for the second quarter fiscal 2006 was ($75,000) or $0.00 per diluted share compared to net income of $4.4 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased 9.9% to $298.8 million compared to $271.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2005. This growth in net sales was achieved principally through an increase of sales in our distribution segment and the addition of FUNimation results, which added $15.9 million in net sales since May 11, 2005, the date of acquisition. Our gross profit increased to $53.2 million or 17.8% of net sales in the first six months of 2006 compared with $39.9 million or 14.7% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 2005. The increase in gross profit and as a percent of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the addition of FUNimation revenues, which carry a higher margin than the revenues generated by our distribution segment. Total operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2006 were $45.4 million or 15.2% of net sales, compared with $34.2 million or 12.6% of net sales in the same period in fiscal 2005. Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2006 decreased to $1.8 million or $0.06 per diluted share compared to $6.3 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Forward-Looking Statements / Important Risk Factors

We make written and oral statements from time to time regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Report on Form 10-Q, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts, shareholders, investors, news organizations and others and discussions with management and other representatives of us. For such statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Our future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results reflected in any forward-looking statements

will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Our forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement which may be made by or on behalf of us.

In addition to other matters identified or described by us from time to time in filings with the SEC, there are several important factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement that may be made by or on behalf of us. Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important factors, include the following: potential restatements related to the Company’s review of the application of FIN 46(R) to third party entities or relationships, the Company’s revenues being derived from a small group of customers; the Company’s dependence on significant vendors; the Company’s dependence upon software developers and manufacturers and popularity of their products; the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its exclusive distribution business through agreements with music labels; the Company’s dependence upon a key employee and its Founder, namely, Eric H. Paulson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer; the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified management personnel; uncertain growth in the publishing segment; the acquisition strategy of the Company could disrupt other business segments and/or management; the seasonality and variability in the Company’s business and that decreased sales during peak season could adversely affect its results of operations; the Company’s ability to meet its significant working capital requirements related to distributing products; the Company’s ability to avoid excessive inventory return and obsolescence losses; the potential for inventory values to decline; the Company’s credit exposure due to reseller arrangements or negative trends which could cause credit loss; the Company’s ability to adequately and timely adjust cost structure for decreased demand; the Company’s ability to compete effectively in distribution and publishing, which are highly competitive industries; the Company’s dependence on third-party shipping of its product; the Company’s dependence on information systems; technological developments, particularly in the electronic downloading arena which could adversely impact sales, margins and results of operations; increased counterfeiting or piracy which could negatively affect demand for the Company’s products; the Company may not be able to protect its intellectual property; interruption of the Company’s business or catastrophic loss at a facility which could curtail or shutdown its business; the potential for future terrorist activities to disrupt operations or harm assets; the exercise of outstanding warrants and options adversely affecting stock price; the Company’s anti-takeover provision, its ability to issue preferred stock and its staggered board may discourage take-over attempts beneficial to shareholders; and the Company’s directors may not be personally liable for certain actions which may discourage shareholder suits against them.

Except as to the initial risk stated above, a detailed statement of risks and uncertainties is contained in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in particular our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2005. Investors and shareholders are urged to read this document carefully. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Restatements

The Company restated its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ending March 31, 2004 and 2005, the period ended March 31, 2003 and unaudited quarterly financial data as of and for the periods ending June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005. These restatements resulted from (i) the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation Number 46 (revised December 2003),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46(R)”) to the Company’s investment in Mix & Burn; (ii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $388,000 in connection with certain payments to be made pursuant to a separation agreement that was entered into with the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in April 2004; and (iii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $984,000 as a result of the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 to certain payments that are to be made upon the retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a 2001 Employment Agreement.

Restatement — Previously Reported

In June 2005, our management, after consultation with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that our consolidated financial statements for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, year ended March 31, 2004, first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004, second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 should no longer be relied upon. As a result of the fiscal year 2005 audit, it was determined that expenses related to the incentive-based deferred compensation of our Chief Executive Officer should have been recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2004 and first fiscal quarter of 2005. As a result, additional expenses and accrued liabilities of $1.5 million and $2.2 million were recorded in these quarters, respectively. These expenses were determined in accordance with the provisions of the Chief Executive Officer’s 2001 employment agreement.

It was also determined that our deferred tax benefit recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2005 was improperly included in income and should have increased common stock. Consequently, the tax benefit of $2.4 million recognized during the third fiscal quarter of 2005 was reduced and common stock increased by the same amount.

The consolidated financial statements for our third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, year ended March 31, 2004, first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004, second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, and third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the period ended March 31, 2005 have been restated to include the effects of the expenses related to the incentive-based deferred compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and the deferred tax benefit recorded in income that should have increased common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill impairment, impairment of long-lived assets, inventory valuation, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation as discussed in the section with this title in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2005. No material changes occurred to these policies in the periods covered by this report.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Sales to Net Sales Before Inter-Company Eliminations

In evaluating our financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning our net sales before inter-company eliminations of sales that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluations of financial results. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures. The method the Company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures. Net sales before inter-company eliminations has limitations as a supplemental measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The following table represents a reconciliation of GAAP net sales to net sales before inter-company eliminations:

Distribution Segment

The distribution segment distributes PC software, video games, accessories, major label music, and DVD video, as well as independent music.

Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Second Quarter

Net Sales

Net sales for the distribution segment were $140.8 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $134.2 million (before inter-company eliminations) for fiscal 2005 second quarter. The 4.9% increase in net sales for fiscal 2006 second quarter was principally due to increases in sales in the PC software, video game product groups and independent music, partially offset by a decrease in sales of major label music. Net sales increased in the software product group to $99.6 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $94.5 million for the same period last year. Software continues to expand its market share presence across all categories. Internet security and on-line role playing games net sales remained strong. DVD video grew to $11.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $11.6 million in second quarter of fiscal 2005 and video games increased to $6.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $5.6 million for the same period last year, due to increased publisher and customer rosters and strong releases throughout the quarter. Independent music net sales increased to $20.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 from $14.9 million in the same period last year due to significant title releases during second quarter fiscal 2006. Major label music net sales decreased due to a change in buying patterns at a major retailer. Based on this change in the Company’s major label music business, it appears likely that future sales in this category will continue to decrease versus prior year periods. The Company believes that future sales increases in all categories will be dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to add new, appealing content and the strength of the retail environment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the distribution segment was $15.6 million or 11.1% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter fiscal 2006 compared to $14.0 million or 10.4% as a percent of net sales for second quarter fiscal 2005. The increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales for second quarter fiscal 2006 was due to a shift to higher gross margin products. We expect gross profit to fluctuate depending upon the make-up of product sales each quarter.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the distribution segment were $14.4 million or 10.3% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $12.0 million or 8.9% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Overall, operating expenses increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2006; particularly, selling and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses for the distribution segment were $4.0 million or 2.9% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $2.7 million or 2.0% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 resulted from increased freight costs and sales commissions. Freight cost, as a percent of sales, increased to 1.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 1.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The increased expense incurred in freight costs was primarily due to changes in customer shipping requirements, such as shipment of product to store locations versus distribution centers and fuel surcharges. Sales commissions increased due to charges relating to merchandising services at a major mass merchandiser.

Distribution and warehousing expenses for the distribution segment were $2.2 million or 1.6% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $2.2 million or 1.7% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment consist principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment were $7.6 million or 5.4% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $6.6 million or 4.9% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. A significant portion of the increase was due to compensation costs related to separation payments to former executives.

Depreciation and amortization for the distribution segment was $570,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $420,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. This increase is primarily due to warehouse systems and equipment.

Net operating income for the distribution segment was $1.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $2.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Fiscal 2006 First Six Months Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Six Months

Net Sales

Net sales for the distribution segment were $270.5 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $244.4 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the six month period of fiscal 2005. The 10.7% increase in net sales for fiscal 2006 second quarter was principally due to strong increases in sales in the PC software, DVD video and video game product groups, partially offset by a decrease in sales of major label music. Net sales increased in the software product group to $198.3 million during the six month period fiscal 2006 from $170.2 million for the same period last year. Software continues to expand its market share presence across all categories. Internet security and on-line role playing games net sales remained strong. DVD video grew to $20.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2006 from $18.7 million in first six months of fiscal 2005 and video games increased to $14.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2006 from $7.6 million for the same period last year, due to increased publisher and customer rosters and strong releases throughout the period. Major label music net sales decreased due to a change in buying patterns at a major retailer. Based on this change in the Company’s major label music business, it appears likely that future sales in this category will continue to decrease versus prior year periods. The Company believes future sales increases will be dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to add new, appealing content and the strength of the retail environment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the distribution segment was $30.3 million or 11.2% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $25.0 million or 10.3% as a percent of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2005. The increase in gross profit as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was due to a shift to higher gross margin products. We expect gross profit to fluctuate depending upon the make-up of product sales each quarter.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the distribution segment were $28.0 million or 10.4% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $24.9 million or 10.2% as a percent of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2005. Overall, operating expenses increased in fiscal 2006; particularly, selling and marketing, and distribution and warehousing expenses.

Selling and marketing expenses for the distribution segment were $8.1 million or 3.0% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $5.5 million or 2.3% as a percent of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2005. The increase as a percent of net sales for the sixth month period of fiscal 2006 resulted from increased freight costs and sales commissions. Freight cost, as a percent of sales, increased to 1.9% in the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to 1.4% for the same period of fiscal 2005. The increased expense incurred in freight costs was primarily due to changes in customer shipping requirements, such as shipment of product to store locations versus distribution centers and fuel surcharges. Sales commissions increased due to charges relating to merchandising services at a major mass merchandiser.

Distribution and warehousing expenses for the distribution segment were $4.4 million or 1.6% as a percent of net sales for the six month period fiscal of 2006 compared to $3.8 million or 1.5% as a percent of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2005.

General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment consist principally of executive, accounting and administrative personnel and related expenses, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses for the distribution segment were $14.4 million or 5.3% as a percent of net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to $14.8 million or 6.1% as a percent of net sales for the same period of fiscal 2005. The first six months of fiscal 2005 included $2.2 million of incentive-based deferred compensation expense related to the CEO’s employment agreement. The six months of fiscal 2006 included higher costs related to compensation expense and rent expense. The increase in rent expense is primarily due to expansion of the Company’s headquarters.

Depreciation and amortization for the distribution segment was $1.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006 compared to $731,000 for the same period of fiscal 2005. This increase is primarily due to the new warehouse system and equipment.

Net operating income for the distribution segment was $2.3 million for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $167,000 for same period of fiscal 2005.

Publishing Segment

The publishing segment includes Encore, BCI and FUNimation. We acquired FUNimation on May 11, 2005, the assets of BCI on November 3, 2003 and the assets of Encore on July 31, 2002. Results are included from dates of acquisition.

Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Second Quarter

Net Sales

Net sales for the publishing segment were $31.8 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the second quarter fiscal 2006 compared to $22.6 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the second quarter fiscal 2005. Of the change in net sales, FUNimation contributed $10.2 million during the quarter. The transfer of a third-party software products distribution relationship with a major mass merchandiser from the publishing segment to the distribution segment in fiscal 2005, accounted for a decline of $1.7 million in sales. The publishing segment benefited from a strong performance of our new release,He-Man and the Masters of the UniverseDVD during the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The publishing segment also realized a softness in net sales due to a late release of a leading software product, which has since been released in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the publishing segment was $12.8 million or 40.2% as a percent of net sales for second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $7.0 million or 31.0% as a percent of net sales for second quarter of fiscal 2005. The gross margin rate increase was due to the transfer of a third-party software products distribution arrangement with a mass merchandiser carrying lower than average profit margins to the distribution segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, FUNimation’s product mix increased profit margins for the second quarter fiscal 2006.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the publishing segment were $10.4 million, or 32.8% as a percent of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $4.2 million, or 18.4% as a percent of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The expense increase in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the addition of FUNimation in May 2005.

The publishing segment had net operating income of $2.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to net operating income of $2.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

We expect FUNimation’s operating results to positively affect this segment’s fiscal year 2006 results.

Fiscal 2006 First Six Months Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Six Months

Net Sales

Net sales for the publishing segment were $57.9 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $52.6 million (before inter-company eliminations) for the same period of fiscal 2005. Of the change in net sales, FUNimation contributed $15.9 million during the six month period. The transfer of a third-party software products distribution relationship with a major mass merchandiser from the publishing segment to the distribution segment in fiscal 2005, accounted for a decline of $9.6 million in sales. The publishing segment benefited from a strong performance of our new release,He-Man and the Masters of the UniverseDVD during the six months period of fiscal 2006.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the publishing segment was $22.9 million or 39.5% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $14.8 million or 28.1% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2005. The gross margin rate increase was due to the transfer of a third-party software products distribution arrangement with a mass merchandiser carrying

lower than average profit margins to the distribution segment in the six month period of fiscal 2005. In addition, FUNimation’s product mix increased profit margins for the six month period of fiscal 2006.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the publishing segment were $16.2 million, or 28.0% as a percent of net sales, for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $8.4 million, or 16.0% as a percent of net sales, for the same period of fiscal 2005. The expense increase in the six month period of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the addition of FUNimation in May 2005, which includes period amortization expense of $3.1 million related to purchase accounting.

The publishing segment had net operating income of $6.7 million for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to net operating income of $6.4 million for the same period of fiscal 2005.

We expect FUNimation’s operating results to continue to positively affect this segment’s fiscal year 2006 results.

Other Segment

The other segment includes the operations Mix & Burn, a consolidated variable interest entity.

Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Second Quarter

Net sales for the other segment were $147,000 (before inter-company eliminations) for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $113,000 (before inter-company eliminations) for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Gross profit for the other segment was $24,000 or 16.3% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $29,000 or 25.7% as a percent of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Total operating expenses for the other segment were $640,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $553,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005. The other segment had net operating losses of $616,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to net operating losses of $524,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

Fiscal 2006 First Six Months Results Compared With Fiscal 2005 (Restated) Six Months

Net sales for the other segment were $255,000 (before inter-company eliminations) for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $113,000 (before inter-company eliminations) for the same period of fiscal 2005. Gross profit for the other segment was $45,000, or 17.6% as a percent of net sales, for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $29,000, or 25.7% as a percent of net sales for the six month period of fiscal 2005. Operating expenses for the other segment were $1.1 million for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $883,000 for the same period of fiscal 2005. The other segment had net operating losses of $1.1 million for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to net operating losses of $854,000 for the same period of fiscal 2005.

Consolidated Other Income and Expense

Interest expense was $3.1 million for second quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to $60,000 for second quarter of fiscal 2005. Interest expense was $5.2 million for the six month period of fiscal 2006 compared to $101,000 for the same period of fiscal 2005. The increase in interest expense for second quarter and six months of fiscal 2006 is a result of financing the FUNimation acquisition through bank debt and the write-off of debt acquisition costs of $239,000. Other income for the six months of fiscal 2006 consisted primarily of a vendor contract buy-out of $375,000 and interest income of $615,000 on available cash balances.

Consolidated Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

For the second quarter of fiscal 2006, income tax expense was $248,000. We recorded an income tax benefit of $3,000 in second quarter of fiscal 2005, a net effect of recording income tax expense and the reversal of a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. For the six month period of fiscal 2006, income tax expense was $1.8 million compared to an income tax benefit of $419,000 for the same period of fiscal 2005. We utilized a portion of the existing net operating loss carry forwards in the three and six months of fiscal 2005. The increase in income tax expense for the three and six months of fiscal 2006 was due to prior year utilization of net operating loss carry forwards and reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance in the same period last year.

Market Risk

Our credit facilities carry interest rate risk that is generally related to the prime rate or the libor rate. If either of these rates were to change, interest expense would increase or decrease accordingly. As of September 30, 2005, there was $118.8 million outstanding under

the Term Loan B sub-facility and Term Loan C sub-facility. On August 9, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement, the effect of which was to swap the Company’s floating rate obligation on the Company’s sub-facility Term Loan B and Term Loan C for a fixed-rate obligation.

Seasonality and Inflation

Quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our business. Specifically, our third quarter (October 1–December 31) typically accounts for our largest quarterly revenue figures and a substantial portion of our earnings, although the percentage of annual net sales and earnings has declined over the past fiscal years. As a distributor of products ultimately sold to retailers, our business is affected by the pattern of seasonality common to other suppliers of retailers, particularly during the holiday selling season. Inflation is not expected to have a significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations since we can generally offset the impact of inflation through a combination of productivity gains and price increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months of fiscal 2006 and used in operating activities for the six months of fiscal 2005 totaled $2.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

The net cash provided by operating activities in the six months of fiscal 2006 mainly reflected our net income, combined with various non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $9.1 million, deferred taxes of $1.3 million, and change in deferred revenue of $320,000, offset by our working capital demands. Changes in the following operating assets and liabilities are net of the affect of the addition of the FUNimation assets and liabilities for the acquisition: accounts receivable decreased by $4.1 million, reflecting the collection efforts of the Company; inventories increased by $9.4 million, primarily reflecting higher inventories required by the Company’s increased sales activities and inventory purchased to fulfill sales orders for the upcoming holiday period; prepaid expenses increased by $3.2 million, primarily reflecting royalty advances in the publishing segment; production costs and license fees increased $928,000 and $3.3 million, respectively, due primarily to new content acquisitions; income taxes receivable increased $1.2 million primarily due to timing of required tax payments; accounts payable increased $12.5 million, primarily as a result of cash management and increased inventory; and accrued expenses decreased $5.8 million as a result of payment of annual bonuses and payment of the amount due to a former shareholder for the remaining shares of Encore.

The net cash used in operating activities in the six months of fiscal 2005 of $8.5 million was primarily the result of net income combined with various non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $1.7 million and deferred compensation expense of $2.2 million, offset by a reduction of deferred income tax of $1.9 million and net reductions in working capital of $16.8 million for second quarter fiscal 2005.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $99.8 million for the six months of fiscal 2006 and $584,000 for the same period last year.

Acquisition of property and equipment totaled $1.1 million for the six months of fiscal 2006. Purchases of fixed assets for the six months of fiscal 2005 were $6.5 million, offset by $6.4 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of our new building.

Acquisition of businesses totaled $98.1 million for the six months of fiscal 2006. In May 2005 the Company completed the acquisition of FUNimation, a leading home video distributor and licensor of Japanese animation and children’s entertainment in the United States. This transaction was performed to enable the Company to continue to build its catalog of content and grow the publishing segment.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided from financing activities totaled $117.1 million and $2.9 million for the six months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company recorded proceeds from notes payable of $140.9 million for the six months of fiscal 2006 and related debt issuance costs of $2.9 million. The Company recorded $21.3 million in repayments on notes payable for the six months of fiscal 2006. The Company recorded net repayments on notes payable of $651,000 for the six months of fiscal 2005 and debt issuance

costs of $350,000. The Company recorded proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and warrants of $437,000 and $3.9 million for the six months of fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Capital Resources

Our credit agreement currently provides a six-year $115.0 million Term Loan B sub-facility, a $25.0 million five and one-half year Term Loan C sub-facility, and a five-year revolving sub-facility for up to $25.0 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006 we received proceeds of $140.0 million from the Term Loan B sub-facility and the Term Loan C sub-facility in conjunction with the FUNimation acquisition. The revolving sub-facility of up to $25.0 million is available to the Company for its working capital and general corporate needs. During the six months of fiscal 2006, we made payments of $21.3 million to reduce the amounts outstanding of the Term Loan B sub-facility. As of September 30, 2005, we had $118.8 million and $0 outstanding on the two sub-facilities and the revolver, respectively.

Under the credit agreement we are required to meet certain financial and non-financial covenants. Non-financial covenants include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the amounts the Company may lend to its subsidiaries and affiliates. The financial covenants include a variety of financial metrics that are used to determine our overall financial stability and include limitations on our capital expenditures, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and a minimum of indebtedness to EBITDA. We were in compliance with or have obtained waivers for all the covenants related to the credit facility on September 30, 2005.

Liquidity

On May 11, 2005 we acquired 100% of the general and limited partnership interests of FUNimation Productions, Ltd. and The FUNimation Store, Ltd. (together, “FUNimation”). As consideration for the acquisition of FUNimation, the sellers of FUNimation received $100.4 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments not to exceed $5.0 million and excess cash as defined in the purchase agreement, and 1,827,486 shares of Company common stock. In addition, during the five-year period following the closing of the transaction, we may pay up to an additional $17.0 million in cash to the FUNimation sellers if they achieve certain agreed-upon financial targets relating to the FUNimation business. This acquisition cost was funded with the debt structure discussed herein.

From time to time we are required to invest a significant amount of cash in our publishing segment in order to license content from third parties and in our distribution segment in order to sign exclusive distribution agreements. Typically, these amounts are paid to third parties in connection with the signing of the applicable agreement and are recouped from the proceeds that we receive from the sale of products that result from these agreements. During the six months of fiscal 2006 we invested approximately $22.5 million in connection with the acquisition of licensed and exclusively distributed product in our publishing and distribution segments.

In our business, we must estimate the likely demand for the products that we sell in order to ensure that we have enough of these products ready for shipment to our customers. During the six months of fiscal year 2006 we invested $9.4 million of cash in our inventory in order to ensure that we had sufficient products to meet expected demand for the foreseeable future and to increase levels due to the upcoming holiday season. The effect of this was that, at the end of our fiscal 2006 second quarter, we had higher inventory levels than March 31, 2005. This increase in inventory was funded through working capital. Cash at September 30, 2005 was $35.6 million and we had no borrowings under the $25.0 million revolving portion of our credit facility.

We believe that certain recent events will enhance our liquidity and capital resources. Specifically, the acquisition of FUNimation is currently expected to provide positive cash flow during the approximate ten months that its operations will be included in fiscal 2006. In addition, our business has historically generated positive cash flow in the third and fourth quarters and we anticipate that this will occur in fiscal 2006. Furthermore, the changes to our credit agreement with GE Commercial Finance provides us with $25.0 million working capital revolving credit facility provided we meet certain financial covenants but without reference to a borrowing base availability requirement. At September 30, 2005, this facility had $0 outstanding.

Our cash requirements are driven by our needs to fund increases in accounts receivable, inventories, payments of obligations to creditors and advances to acquire new content. We currently believe cash and cash equivalents, funds generated from the expected results of operations and funds available under our existing credit facility will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements and to finance expansion plans and strategic initiatives for this fiscal year and otherwise in the long-term, absent significant acquisitions.

We have stated our plans to grow through acquisitions; however, such opportunities will likely require the use of additional equity or debt capital, some combination thereof, or other financing.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Information with respect to disclosures about market risk is contained in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk” in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2005, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. However, to address the material weaknesses described in the paragraphs below, we expanded our disclosure controls and procedures.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable level of assurance to the Company’s management and the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, using the criteria published in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded the Company did not maintain effective control over financial reporting because of the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

•

The Company did not maintain effective controls over the identification and determination of appropriate accounting treatment for certain business relationships it has with entities that are VIEs under FIN 46 (R) and, therefore, potentially subject to consolidation with the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Specifically, the Company had a deficiency in the design of controls to identify the proper accounting treatment for investments and loans to a third party that is a VIE. In connection with the identification of this VIE, the Company undertook a project to evaluate whether other relationships it has with other entities should be considered under FIN 46 (R) and, therefore, subject to consolidation with the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company has not completed its review and is unable to come to any conclusions as of the date of this report. Adjustments related to the consolidation of the VIE, Mix & Burn, are included in the Company’s restated consolidated financial statements for the periods ending March 31, 2004 and 2005 and unaudited quarterly financial data as of and for the periods ending June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004, December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company implemented, the following remediation steps to address the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting discussed above and ensure the integrity of our financial reporting process:

•

The Company strengthened its controls and procedures as it relates to the identification and determination of appropriate accounting treatment for certain business relationships it has with other entities that could be VIEs through a comprehensive review of its existing and all new business arrangements with other entities in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these remediation steps corrected the material weakness discussed above.

Except as discussed above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recently completed first quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Other Information

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

(a) (1) On November 10, 2005, the Company’s management, in consultation with the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, determined that its consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year 2003, 2004 and 2005 annual periods will be restated and thus should no longer be relied upon.

(2) As a result of issues identified in the quarterly closing process for the period ended September 30, 2005, the Company has restated of restating its previously-issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ending March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and unaudited quarterly financial data as of and for the periods ending June 30, 2004. These restatements resulted in (i) the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation Number 46 (revised December 2003),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46(R)”) to the Company’s investment in Mix & Burn; (ii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $388,000 in connection with a separation agreement that was entered into with the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in April 2004; and (iii) the Company’s recognition of additional expense in prior periods in the aggregate amount of $984,000 in connection with the application of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 to certain payments that are to be made upon the retirement of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a 2001 Employment Agreement.

(3) The Company has discussed the matters disclosed in this item with Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s existing independent accountants. The Company has also discussed the matters in Item 4.02(a)(2) with Ernst & Young LLP who audited the Company’s financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2004.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

As stated in the Company’s Form 12b-25, filed November 10, 2005, the purchase price for the acquisition of the general and limited partnership interests of FUNimation, was to be allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with FAS 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the net assets were recorded at their estimated fair values and operating results were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was previously allocated on a preliminary basis using information then available. However, since the time of this preliminary allocation, the Company received an independent valuation that resulted in the Company’s determination to record goodwill of approximately $45 million and intangibles of approximately $2 million related to a trademark, neither of which will be amortized. The Company will also record other intangible assets of approximately $39 million related to certain licensing and distribution arrangements; this amount will be amortized. Accordingly, for the period ended September 30, 2005, approximately $3.1 million of amortization expense will be recognized by the Company in connection with the FUNimation purchase price allocation.
